Our goal is to try and preserve classic videogame magazines 
from years gone by before they are lost forever. 

Thanks goes out to all the people who make this possible. 

From the original editors and writers, 
to everyone involved in acquiring and digitizing these magazines. 

People interested in helping us out, in whatever way possible. 

Either by donating classic magazines, scanning, editing or distributing them, 
visit us at http://www.retromags.com 


We are only interested in preserving classic magazines 
that are at least 5 years out of print. 

We have no desire or intention to profit from these in any way. 

So please, if you come across people trying to sell these releases, don't support them! 


Thank You and ENJOY!
